  The Road To ChinaJoin Us On Our Journey

As many of you already know we

(Laurie Hughes and Christa Martinez) went

 back to school almost two years ago to pursue

the completion of our Bachelor degrees in

Business Administration at Cornerstone

University. We would like to share with youan educational opportunity God has presented

to us through our current course of study.

In October 2014, we will be headed

to China with a group of students from the

BGlobal Studies program. Our ten-day trip

will be spent in two different cities, Beijing

and Shanghai. Beijing serves as the political

and cultural hub of China. Shanghai is home

to hundreds of global companies and is a key

driver to China's economic growth. We hope

to experience and accomplish several things

while on the trip.

Since China is a communist country

with capitalist tendencies, we will experience

the rapid expansion of this exploding

economy and examine its impact on the world

economy. We will have the opportunity to

meet with executives from Amway, Tyco

Electronics, Haworth International and visit a

 jade factory.

China has a long cultural history. We will experience

this far-east society and examine how it is being 

impacted by its place in the world market. We will 

walk on the Great Wall of China; visit Olympic Village,

Tianamen S uare and the Forbidden Cit .

 Reshaping 

a CountryWe will see how business,

education, social and spiritual 

organizations are reshaping 

this country. We will have the

opportunity to discuss with

business leaders how

organizations reach out to their 

community in a government 

climate that regulates religious

activities and organizations.

We are excited about the opportunity and the

experience God has provided. We hope you see the value inwhat we would like to accomplish.
